Shin Sae Kyeong shared her first social media update after the online debate over her recent Baeksang Arts Awards win.
She posted a photo of a congratulatory bouquet from a luxury fashion brand she has represented since 2023. Her caption, “Thank you,” quietly acknowledged her achievement despite the controversy.
Shin won the Best Supporting Actress award on May 8th for her performance in the film HUMINT, beating a competitive field of veteran actors.
Lee Sung Min’s comment during his acceptance speech immediately sparked debate. He joked that he had “cursed internally” because his co-star, Yeom Hye Ran, did not win. Some fans saw the remark as a friendly joke between colleagues, while others criticized it as disrespectful to Shin.
Shin has remained composed despite the online debate. She has focused on thanking her supporters and maintaining professionalism. Her poise has reinforced her status as a top-tier actress and earned her further respect as she reaches a new peak in her career.
